With seamless integration with the FileCentipede desktop application, you can easily download videos, audio, images, and other resources from web pages, streamlining your download process.
This extension intelligently detects preview videos and audio on web pages, allowing you to quickly download the content you need with just a few clicks. Whether it's online courses, music, or other multimedia files, you can effortlessly save them to your local storage.
